• Description:
  Million Hearts® is a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services initiative, co-led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), with the goal of preventing one million heart attacks and strokes by 2017. To help achieve this goal, Million Hearts® aims to increase by 10 million the number of people in the United States whose blood pressure is under control. Self-measured blood pressure monitoring (SMBP) plus additional clinical support* is one strategy
  
  that can reduce the risk of disability or death due to high blood pressure. SMBP is defined as regular measurement of blood pressure by the patient outside the clinical setting, either at home or elsewhere. It is sometimes called “home blood pressure monitoring.”
